CPSIA - Mr. Sun

Music by Charlie Hope, now available on Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/m6ejyx) . You can listen to other music by Charlie Hope at http://www.myspace.com/charliehopekidsmusic

The CPSIA (Children's Product Safety Improvement Act) was signed into law last August 14th, 2008. Without serious changes to this legislation, it will destroy the small businesses that bring us natural, specialty children's products. The range of products affected by the law is truly astounding. Please learn more and contact Congress & the CPSC to call for reforms of this law.

UPDATE: The comment at the end stating the the music on this video would be available on CD was apparently premature. CDs apparently ARE covered under the CPSIA. So seemingly they want to take our natural toys, clothes, shoes, bicycles, telescopes, books, AND MUSIC!!!!! Among many many other things. CALL CONGRESS TODAY!

On August 14, 2009, Public Law 110-314 will go into effect. Mandatory-Third-Party-Testing is also going to be in force.... that means that every test will average ~ $500. Time to contact you congress person and tell them to repeal this stupid law.

I've been contacting as many people (mainly large DIY names like Make magazine and others) to feature information on this act. so far Make told me there's going to be an article in the next Craft magazine. I'm working on talking to etsy next.

Thanks for making this video, it really is sad and I don't think people quite understand how it  will impact everyone.

AWESOME Video! I am so glad you made this. I put it in my playlist and I hope others will make more vids on the value of handcrafted and/or specialty childrens toys and clothing.
